First row of the data is 8m22.6sec height 26.9ft, last row is 8m23.6 sec, height -19ft. Subtract the two and it's gone 45.9 feet down in 1 second

we'd need the logs. But the drone came down 45 feet in one second, so there's something not right. Whether the issue was the drone or the pilot is hard to say, but generally you can't fly downwards that fast.

That's the details pane in windows explorer, you can see those things if your right click a file and choose properties. A HDR image doesn't need to be multiple exposures. If the sensor outputs enough range, you can process the raw data to and HDR file, you only need to merge files together if...

OK I downloaded Picture 1. This is what the properties show If you didn't set the keywords / tags field , then the camera did it.

Did you manually set keywords on those, because the keywords/tags contains "HDR" on the one you said is HDR :-)

Well strictly 1. it is multiple exposures, my SLR cameras have had an HDR mode since c.2010 , they take 3 shots bracketing exposure, combine them in the camera and save one file. So only one picture is ever saved. It doesn't need to be an app. 2. If the sensor captures enough dynamic range you...

I'm saying nothing about your packing skills, but your wife choosing skills score 10 /10

JPEG is always 8 bit. There may be other things in the meta data - usually in things like the maker note field - to indicate special camera settings, you'd need something like exiftool to find it.

Nice. I liked the video of this place, too

All that is true. But. But lets say you have a 1500ma hour battery, and it take 2amps just to hover. So you can hover for 3/4 hour. Total distance covered is zero. At 300m/min you use 2.5 amps (2 for lift, 0.5 for thrust). so you have 36mins flying time you can cover 10.8KM. Drag goes up as a...

If you have managed to land it, you have a record of where it landed so you know exactly where to go (the GPS position will be in the log on your device). Once landed, if you powered it off it wouldn't be listening for a command to turn back on again, so that option isn't available. It's...

It's not easy, and varies from drone to drone. Basically if you fly slowly a lot of the power is just keeping you in the air. If you fly fast it gets less efficient so there is some optimal speed which doesn't give maximum time but does give maximum range. The best attempt I've seen to work out...

People might be able to read what you say if you used punctuation. Sorry, but I gave up trying to make sense of it. The problem with telling people to do the right thing is those who are already doing it don't need to be told, and those who aren't won't listen.

I think there is a certain amount of preaching to the choir there; most people think what they do is fine (otherwise they would do it another way) even when it isn't. Flying without proper consideration for others has more impact than anything else. A flight which is legal, exemplary in its...

The ones I have can't be rotated (so as I said above - pretty pointless). The definitely are polarizing because if you hold one in front of the other and rotate them at 90 degrees offset they block all light. I don't notice any polarizing type effect when shooting , and it's quite possible in...
